AB  - Introduction: Emphysematous cystitis (EC) is an infectious cystitis characterized by gas formation in the urinarytract and usually caused by gas forming Escherichia coli or Klebsiella pneumoniae strains.The gas accumulates in the bladder wall can be seen by computerizedtomography (CT). Therefore, CT is used foraccurate diagnosis.Case Report: A 69-year-olddiabetic man hadlung adenocarcinoma presented by abdominal painfor a week. He had type 2 diabetes mellitus for two years and he received firstchemotherapy cure approximately three weeks before. The patient was oriented,afebrile and normotensive. On physical examination, he has only suprapubictenderness. Abdomino-pelvic CT was performed, and it showed that bladder wall was diffuselythickened, with the largest measurement of 18 mm. Accumulation of the air within thebladder wall was detected. The result of urine culture revealed more than 20.000colonies of Klebsiella pneumonia. Thepatient was diagnosed with emphysematous cystitis thenhe was hospitalized, andintravenous piperacillin/tazobactam treatment was initiated. Conclusion: It is very important to make a definite diagnosis inEC. EC should be kept in mind in diabetic patients withabdominal pain.
